Toliver Family Visit!

We just finished a super fun visit from Aunt Brandee's family.  They drove all the way here from Springfield, stopping to see lots of exciting places along their way.  We printed a map of their trip and followed along for several days.  Each day you traced the route to where they were sleeping that night as we were anticipating their arrival.

Family craft time.

It's way too hot to sleep outside, but we set up your tent in the living room so you could spend a couple of nights camping with your cousins indoors.

Edie went to Joshua Tree with Aunt Brandee and Uncle Aaron, but Holly and Levi stayed with us for the day, so we headed to the children's museum.

You girls spent so long restocking all the shelves to make everything perfect.  Of course that only lasted about 2 minutes until the next little ones wandered it, but it was impressive work anyway.

Back home.  Dingers for everyone!

The Tolivers went to Disneyland for one day and an overnight, so you got the extra-special task of babysitting all the dolls while they were gone.  Holly and Edie brought all their dolls and you were so thrilled.  You would have done nothing but play dolls for the entire week if we'd let you.

In-N-Out

A day at the tram.  We were happy for a little relief from the heat.

I got everyone smelling all the trees when I told them about the Jeffrey Pines that smell like butterscotch!

Movie night.

Bowling!

And of course, we spent most of our week right here in the pool!

We are so lucky to have friends and family willing to make the long trip to come see us.  We love having visitors and I can't wait for our next chance to host someone we love!
